Chapter 720: Greenhouse H
Lu Yizhou’s leg had not fully recovered yet so it was not advisable for him to drive. But for some inexplicable reason, he did not allow Zeke to drive either despite how many times Zeke tried to convince him that his driving skill was more than passable. He was clearly a very good driver, so why didn’t Lu Yizhou allow him to show off his skills?! Zeke really could not figure out what was in Lu Yizhou’s head.
After a lengthy discussion that led to nowhere, they finally decided to make full use of the automatic navigation. Fortunately, the winter had started to thaw and fresh buds of flowers could be seen sprouting out from the trees on the roadside. In this kind of good weather, the possibility that an accident could occur was almost nil.
Of course, they could actually hire a driver for the day, but they were really reluctant to do so. They wanted to spend this important and memorable day with only the two of them alone. Lu Yizhou said this was a ’closure day’, but Zeke really begged to differ. Today, he was going to visit the most important people in Lu Yizhou’s life! This was clearly a ’family meeting day’!
Okay, it was not like Zeke had brought him to meet the former Crown Prince – otherwise he really could not ensure that Lu Yizhou would not pull out a gun and drove a bullet through that guy’s head – but oh well, it was the thought that counted.
It took the hover car two hours to drive them to the Northern part of the Capital Planet. The dense population swiftly decreased, and steel buildings were replaced with numerous large greenhouses. It was the place where the freshest supply of fruits and vegetables were produced every single day.
"I bought a greenhouse here more than ten years ago," Lu Yizhou explained as they started to travel down the road. Both sides were lined up with transparent greenhouses and Zeke could see many lush trees inside. Small robots were rolling back and forth inside as they sprayed out water from their heads. Even without human workers, the robots would be able to preserve the trees to their best state. "After that, I have never come here again. So my memory has become a bit blurred. Let’s look around for a while."
"Okay!" Zeke had not traveled to this part of the city before and he felt that everything was so marvelous and novel. He could not even tear his gaze off the window.
Looking at his lover’s excited state, Lu Yizhou could not resist a smile on his face. He had never expected that the second time he stepped foot in this place again, it would be in this kind of mood – calm and serene. The last time, he had sworn not to look back as he walked out of this place. He had sworn that... before he could take revenge, he would not come back.
As much as he told himself that he did not wish to be hindered by the painful past, deep down he knew the reason why he chose not to return was because he lacked the courage. He could not bring himself to stand in front of them – his family and also everyone who had died unjustly – without feeling like he was dying from the suffocating guilt and helplessness.
